Skiing!

One of Quin's presents from E and myself was a pair of skis. They're designed to fit over a child's snow boots, and they're quite cute. Today I was finally able to get Quin to go skiing with me in the back yard! Of course, the snow was absolute crap to ski on (a layer of ice on top of the snow, combined with footprints from previous outdoor play), but we had a lot of fun! He did really well, and hopefully we'll get our normal March snow soon so that I can take him out on a tracked trail.

I'm supposed to do what with these things on my feet?
Hey! This is kinda fun!
Look at me go!
Oops - how do I get up again? Oh, yeah, you come and pick me up! (His split lip is from playing at the gym yesterday and falling off the mats, not from skiing. He's fine, although it's still a bit tender.)
We watched this video about 5 times while eating our post-ski snack.
